Metro is in the process of converting its TRADE CENTRE stores into METRO HYPERS. METRO HYPER will differ from the old format TRADE CENTRE in that it will have additional service departments such as bakery, butchery, and an extended perishable range

The centre will be converted to a shopping centre with national tenants taking up half of the space and METRO HYPER the other half.

Boksburg, Silverlakes, Hillfox, Polokwane, Springs, Bloemfontein, Hermanstad and Windhoek have already been converted and the tenants include Fruit and Veg, MICA, Crazy plastics and METRO LIQUOR.
The new hypers cater for traders, hawkers, spazas and the consumer.
